Atletico Madrid captain Gabi: It was hand-ball, but...

Atletico Madrid captain Gabi admits he did handle the ball in victory over Champions League opponents Barcelona.

Gabi, though, insists he wasn't sure if Barca deserved a penalty from the incident.

“Yes, it was a handball. I was on the line and it hit my hand.

"The referee gave a free kick outside the area, I don't know if the hand was inside or not. Sometimes decisions go your way and sometimes they don't. If it was in, it was in. But we can't get caught up in that one moment, we deserved to win."
